~A Juicy Kinda Day!~

I just chopped a bunch of carrots, apples & celery & Hannah's having a blast juicing them, I forgot how much she enjoys that part of it!
I've been feeling a little guilty/convicted that she's gained some weight (mainly on her tummy) this past year when we've been eating more take-out than usual, & not as healthy, when my health had me not up to preparing food...now she's struggling with craving sugar & processed food...when it's in the house, it's what she goes to first.
It doesn't tempt me (most days) anymore, but I think, for her sake, it's time to just keep it out of the house. We've returned to our 'one treat a week' rule, & that helps get her past that deprived feeling....MOST of the time!
Now to gather the ingredients to make that weekly treat a yummy raw dessert! (Ok, if it's raw, maybe 2 or 3 times a week!Or 4...or 5...)
The key to her getting excited about healthy food seems to be us doing it together....not me, or her doing it alone!
I'm off to go drink it now, & then get out in the shunshine! (As Hannah used to call it!)
Can't wait for 'Biggest Loser' tonight! I'm looking forward to working out while it's on, my back is soooo much better today! Not 100%, but close! Thanks, Lord!

My son and I watch Biggest Loser and work out too! We do a lot of the push/pull resistance exercises, as well as using one another as an exercise ball. Makes exercising more fun when you're watching others struggling with the same problems, and when you're sharing it with your family.

Keep it up!

Hi Anastazia,
It's me Angel. Just wanted to say hey and I have emailed you my blog link twice to that email you posted on your blog but no response. I just didn't want you to think I never sent it. :)
Juicing is awesome!! I love juices.. I hope you enjoyed yours and good for you for trying that one new fruit everytime. I've never tried dragon fruit but I did think it looked like a fish!! God Bless,
Angel
